Young Bucks Show Footage of Jack Perry & CM Punk Altercation at AEW All In & Claim FTR were Masterminds of It, FTR Responds

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show featured The Young Bucks actually airing never before seen backstage footage of CM Punk’s altercation with Jack Perry at AEW’s All In event this past August.

During the show, the Young Bucks were seated backstage talking about the footage they were preparing to show to everyone. The Young Bucks talked about the match they had at AEW’s All In event and an incident that took place backstage involving one of the people being the “scapegoat” in all of this, which they said was Jack Perry. The Young Bucks then referenced comments a former AEW star made about how anyone who has issued with Perry being a problem must be the problem themselves. The Young Bucks also talked about this former AEW star’s association with FTR. After some more words, Matthew Jackson claimed that FTR were the masterminds of this backstage incident but did not want to say more due to fear of any legal issues.

The Young Bucks then “rolled the tape” showing backstage footage with no audio of Perry, Punk, Samoa Joe, and several AEW officials backstage at AEW All In. While his face was not seen, CM Punk walked up to Perry and engaged in a conversation with him. After some talking, Punk was seen shoving Perry and applied a awful looking headlock that he struggled to secure. Samoa Joe was seen quickly separating the two and Punk walking off as the footage ended.

Following the end of the footage, The Young Bucks claimed that this incident led to them being so distracted that they ended up losing their big match to FTR at the show. Matthew claimed that FTR had the audacity to demand the Bucks shake their hands after all of that and promised they will not do that at Dynasty when they win the titles.

In a follow-up segment, FTR made their way to the ring and Cash Wheeler stated why we needed to focus on this other than the Bucks looking for a built-in excuse for why they lost at All In. Wheeler then mocked the Bucks for focusing on the past leading to Dax Harwood responding about what the Bucks said in the past about being the bosses of this place. After some more words, Harwood claimed that the Bucks are angry that FTR have eclipsed them as the best tag team of all time. Harwood then stated that the Bucks used to be all about the letters “AEW” but now have only become obsessed with being EVPs of late and claimed that FTR plan to continue to build things for the good of the business and for the fans. After some more words, Harwood talked about how the Bucks may have built the foundation of this place but FTR will take shingle by single to put a roof on this house only to blow the whole thing back off.
